We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Takat Ngao in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Takat Ngao, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
